I take it.. and as I do our hands pass the slightest touch. Its not much but its as if at that moment in time a certain understandment occurs between us - which means alot when noone has understood you in so very long. I struggle a nod towards him in thanks and bring the bread closer to me.

After that I feel a certain calmness coming over me. It's a realization that she's not an enemy. ..That maybe there's a new compagnion, apart from the cover of the darkness? I still don't left my guard down though, unable to trust after all what happened. But as I watch her eat her bread I do dare to un-tensen my muscles for once, and it feels good.

I sit up a little, leaning against the wall his corner meets. I eat the bread ever so slowly. Every peice of its texture and taste is like heaven. I look over at him and his gaze upon me, wondering what's going on in his own mind right now.

I'm wondering who she is, and what her name is, and how she got here and why she's not like the others but looks more like me instead. But I didn't use language to anyone in ages, and I hardly know how to get a single word from my mouth. All I do is watch, think, wonder and feel isolated from the rest of the world. If I lost my language too, how much do I have left? I try harder though, remembering..

I've almost finished my bread by now. And I'm thinking hard about who he really is. Theres a certain something in his eyes that makes him seem so much more human than the rest around here. Despite his rugged appearance Im starting to see the person beneath and deciding that maybe.. he's not quite a monster after all.

I bite the inside of my cheek, finding it hard to start saying something. "..You.." After that word I stop instantly. Surprised ..the sound of my very own voice scares me. It's rough, hoarse and painful as I speak. I look at the girl doubtfully.

I freeze as he breaks the silence.
My eyes dart towards his mouth and then back at his eyes..
"..You.." I reply quietly, not knowing how else to counter it..

"..You're not.." I lick my lips, they're cracked and hurting as I talk. For a second I pause, but after taking another breath I finish what I want to say. "...not them." I finish vaguely.

"no." I give a short reply, my gaze moving to the far wall..

I nod, sinking back against the wall as my thoughts sink back as well. She's not. She said so.
